Content companies, for example, should be able to amass traffic and sell advertising on a bootstrapped budget before they come close to seeking equity financing—because you can, and because that’s the market expectation and that’s what your competitors are already doing.

He has been bootstrapping his startup for some time and wanted my advice. At the same time, he told me he's soon to run out of money, his CTO hasn't been paid for a couple of months and he's already financing some things with a loan.
